Last update: 10 July 2020
If you're a die-hard fan of Minecraft and think you have discovered everything, this resource will change your approach to the game. Netherite is the new hardest material available in the game. If you think your best equipment can't match anything, you will need to check out this new material.
Getting netherite
Getting netherite doesn't seem too complicated. Netherite ingots are found in chests. However, there are a few downsides to this:
- time-consuming exploration;
- a chance of getting attacked by the Piglins.
Creating netherite
Instead of looking for chests, you can also use a different method. Netherite can be crafted. All you have to do is combine fragments of netherite with gold ingots.
Netherite as an upgrade
You can upgrade your equipment using the new resource. Netherite items - helmets, chestplate, leggings, boots, swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels, and hoes - are much tougher, stronger, and have greater durability than their diamond counterparts.
The creators give as an example the following values: a diamond sword inflicts approximately 11,000 points of damage in total before it breaks. Netherite, however, can inflict more than 16,000 damage.
To upgrade your diamond items, you need a Smithing table. Place the item you want to upgrade on the left and a netherite ingot on the right.
Netherite and fire resistance
Let's address netherite's last important feature. This material is completely fireproof. Because of that, you won't have to worry about your items anymore. Your only concern may be to get your equipment out of the lava without dying again.
